“…Our laboratory has collaborated with some research where have been evaluated environmental problematic that affect aquatic ecosystem in Gulf of Urab a due to metal contamination in fish caught in the gulf (Gallego Ríos et al, 2018Zuluaga Rodríguez et al, 2017). For example, the Atrato river is the main water current that reaches the Gulf of Urab a, and is highly polluted.…”

“…Zuluaga et al reported the presence of toxic metals in various fish species in the Atrato River delta in the Gulf of Urab a. They evaluated the concentration of iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) in 96 samples of the following eight fish species: Centropomus undecimalis, Caranx hippos, Scomberomorus brasiliensis, Lutjanus purpureus, Caranx crysos, Megalops atlanticus, Elops saurus, and Epinephelus itajara (Zuluaga Rodríguez et al, 2017).…”

Gulf of Urab a is considered a tourist zone of Antioquia Department attracts a large number of visitors to explore the aquatic ecosystem and beaches thus offering a large economic benefit. However, this region has been affected by various anthropogenic effects thus generating an environmental problematic that affect aquatic ecosystem. Over the years, several research has been evaluated pollutant such as pesticides, metals and physicochemical parameters, even our laboratory had found several toxic metals in fish from this same area.The presence of emerging pollutant in matrices such as seawater and fish from Gulf of Urab a have not been reported, and to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study. This work presents important aspects relating to sampling, monitoring and surveillance of seawater and several fish species caught in the area in order to determinate the content of emerging pollutant (triclosan, ibuprofen, diclofenac) using UPLC-QqQ/MS. In general, all three pharmaceuticals in different sampling sites were detected and total concentrations ranged from 0.10 to 1.54 μg/L in surface water. However, emerging pollutants content in fish muscle was not detected. In addition, a high variability in triclosan, ibuprofen and diclofenac concentrations according to the season of sampling was found. Regarding to seasonal variations, most emerging pollutant in the surface water had variation in levels both dry and wet season. Better removal was presented in the dry season, due to stronger irradiation and greater activity of microorganisms.

“…Many physiological processes such as hemoglobin synthesis enzymatic reaction, metabolism, and immune system, require the presence of a small amount of Cu (Azaman et al 2015;Rodríguez et al 2017). However, high level of Cu can cause toxicity to human when exceeding the standard level and cause neurotoxicity symptoms known as Wilson's disease, oxidative stress and various cellular abnormalities (Resma et al 2020;Storelli et al 2020).…”

This study aims to determine the level of nine trace elements – As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn in liver, gill and muscle of Oreochromis niloticus in Bukit Merah Lake (BML). The concentration of trace elements was measured using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometers (ICP-OES). Cd and Ni were found below the detection level, while Cr was only detected in gill and muscle tissues. The Metal Pollution Index (MPI) established were liver > gill > muscle. The ranking order of trace elements in the gills was Fe > Zn > Mn > Pb > As > Cu > Cr. For the liver, the ranking order was Fe > Cu > Zn > As > Mn > Pb, while in the muscle, the ranking order was Fe > Zn > Pb > As > Cu > Mn > Cr. The estimated daily intake (EDI) for all the trace elements in this study was calculated based on 168 g.day–1 of Malaysians’ fish consumption, indicating no potential risk. From the human health point of view, there was no significant non-carcinogenic risk of individual trace elements as evaluated by Target Hazard Quotient (THQ). As indicated by the Hazardous Index (HI), the cumulative effect of all trace elements also suggested no potential of non-carcinogenic risk. The carcinogenic risks assessed from Pb and As were also neglectable and there was no likelihood of getting cancer during one’s life span.

“…In La Paz Bay, Mexico, the species represented 5.4% of the catches in the landings by artisanal fishers, totalling 88 t between 1998 and 2005 and listed as a species of commercial importance (Vázquez‐Hurtado et al ., 2010). In Venezuela, E. itajara was present on fishing landings despite groupers being a minor component of the reported landings (Mendoza et al ., 2003) and in the Colombian Caribbean, is considered one of the most frequently caught for commercial purposes (Zuluaga Rodríguez et al ., 2017).…”

Here, the authors investigate the evolution of scientific literature on the Atlantic goliath grouper (Epinephelus itajara), the largest grouper species in the Atlantic. This species was considered threatened according to the IUCN for nearly three decades due to overfishing and has been protected from fishing in a large part of its range. For the purpose of evaluating the scientific production on an endangered species banned from fishing, the authors present a scientometry and synthesis review analysing the literature produced in the timeline and the content of their studies. To this end, they set up an almost 60-year literary database through the Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar platforms. They analyse the publication and knowledge area patterns over the time in the world and in Brazil. They also feature the main areas, locations, ecosystems and types of those research studies and briefly describe the main records found in each decade. An increase in the number of publications was observed from the 1990s onwards worldwide, and particularly in Brazil from the 2000s, coinciding with the pioneering legislations for species protection. Most of the studies were classified within ecology and conservation and took place in countries that implemented moratoriums and had extensive areas of mangroves. Thus, fishing moratorium, classification as endangered, mangroves distribution and conservation all play a role in the studies distribution and contribute positively to the knowledge, as well as support conservation strategies for the species and its ecosystems of occurrence.
